Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 78 Meow

Chen Beibei heard the news that the child had woken up on the morning of the third day.

When walking by the river, the women who were washing clothes in the small town of Qinghe said.

They said that the child in Zhao Tiezhu's cousin's family was brought back to life.

They said it was a strange Taoist priest who saved the child.

They also said that after the child woke up, his expression was dull, and he kept saying that he saw a cat at home.

Help people to the end, send Buddha to the west.

Chen Beibei decided to go to that child's house again.

"Quick, that master is here again..."

This is what the child's mother said to the child's father after seeing Chen Beibei.

The child's father quickly ran up to Chen Beibei, "Master, come and see my child."

The child's father stretched out his hand to help Chen Beibei, but when he was about to touch Chen Beibei's clothes, he immediately withdrew his hand.

It seemed that he was afraid that his hands would stain Chen Beibei's clothes.

However, Chen Beibei's clothes were already dirty, because he felt that if they were a little dirty, he would look more like a wandering demigod.

"Is your child awake?" Chen Beibei asked.

"Well, thanks to your fairy talisman, our son was able to save his life, but... just... now he is a little demented, as if he has a mental problem..."

the man replied.

"Where is your child now?"

"In the bedroom..."

Chen Beibei walked in, women and men respectfully followed behind him.

A black cat jumped out of the window the moment Chen Beibei opened the door.

Chen Beibei saw the child squatting on the bed, hugging his legs, resting his head on his knees, his eyes were distracted...

"Master, how is it...?"

the man asked in a low voice.

Logically speaking, Chen Beibei's talisman had already awakened the child.

Then the condition should get better, right?
Now that such a situation appeared, Chen Beibei couldn't think of a good solution for the time being.

Chen Beibei shook his head, expressing that he didn't know either.

The couple's eyes suddenly dimmed.

Chen Beibei couldn't solve it for the time being, and planned to leave.

However, the couple insisted on finishing the food and wine, and told Chen Beibei to finish eating before leaving.

After all, it was Chen Beibei who woke up their son.

During the dinner, thank you a thousand times.

Chen Beibei didn't like to drink, but he drank some.

The man was persuading him to drink while drinking heavily.

"Drink less...you'll get drunk again..."

the woman whispered.

Obviously, the man is seeking to get drunk, and drink away his sorrow.

The couple also forced smiles in front of Chen Beibei.

After all, their child still looks demented.

It was getting dark, and there was a first-quarter moon hanging in the sky outside the window.

The man was still drinking, and the woman was thinking about something with a slightly sad expression.

"I'm done eating..."

Chen Beibei really didn't have much appetite to eat in such an atmosphere.

But there is indeed a feeling of fullness in the stomach.

When Chen Beibei stood up, through the window, he saw a pair of eyes staring at him on the tree outside.

The moonlight was dim, Chen Beibei walked slowly to the window, a black shadow jumped off the branch and disappeared...

"What's wrong?"

The woman walked to Chen Beibei's side and asked softly.

Is it...a cat...?
When the mother and son met for the first time, a black cat followed them.

At the funeral, too...

Is there any reason for this?
"Have you guys done anything lately that you shouldn't have done?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"Huh...huhu..."

The man drank too much and fell asleep on the table.

"About cats..."

Chen Beibei added.

The woman fell into deep thought, and then her face became serious.

"I did..."

"What's the matter?"

"Our cat had four kittens last month. We gave the kittens out..."

"Is it just sent out?"

"No one wants kittens, but we don't need five cats. So... so we put kittens in cardboard boxes and put them on the mountain..."

Such things often happen in Chen Beibei's hometown.

A family only needs one cat, and it is useless to have more.

So after giving birth to a kitten, if you can't give it away, you will choose to throw it away.

This is a very normal thing...

"Is that all?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"Ah."

"Take me over there to have a look."

Chen Beibei still wanted the child to recover, so he decided to take a look.

The woman shook the man. The man was already very drunk and did not wake up.

Chen Beibei had no choice but to walk up the mountain with that woman.

"Snapped……"

When they had just left, there was a crisp sound in the room.

It was a drunk man who knocked the glass on the floor...

The woman's expression was always a little embarrassed, as if she had something to say to Chen Beibei.

But never said it out.

In the dark night, the two walked silently, and the noisy insects and frogs rang in their ears.

In the woods, small green light spots flashed from time to time.

In such a place, there are still many fireflies in summer.

Soon, the woman led Chen Beibei to find the box with the kitten.

Chen Beibei squatted down and opened the paper box.

"Meow..."

A mournful cry sounded, and it was not known where it came from.

Inside the cardboard box were the shriveled corpses of four kittens.

very small, very small...

"It was our fault..."

The woman finally spoke up.

Chen Beibei knew why those cats died.

These cats are still too young, it is estimated that they were thrown away a few days after they were born.

Although the kittens in Chen Beibei's hometown would also be discarded, that would only happen after the kittens were born for more than a month.

At that time, the kitten already had the ability to live on its own...

For such a thing, Chen Beibei couldn't make any comments.

After all, everyone has their own life and their own ideas.

All Chen Beibei could do was wish in his heart that such things would happen less often.

"Bury these kittens..."

Chen Beibei said.

When the woman was about to walk over to hug the cardboard box, her foot seemed to have stepped on something.

The woman leaned over and saw that it was a black cat with a broken leg and was dead.

That's her cat...

Although I don't know why this happened, but the reason is not important anymore.

She felt that they did something wrong, and now they had no choice but to bury the cat's body.

The woman buried the five cats together, and then erected a stone tablet without words.

It was already late at night, and Chen Beibei returned to his home.

The woman invited the monk from the Sparrow Temple the next day.

The monk went to see her child and the grave, and since then, her child has returned to normal.

It's just that on a mountain beside Luoying City, that small tomb with no words remains forever.

　Go to sleep, everyone, the weather is getting colder, friends, put on more clothes~
